TRUMP STARTS TO DO BETTER.
MIKE: CERTAINLY HAS BEEN
FASCINATING.
HE POINTS OUT IN A CLOSE RACE IN
2000, NE HAMPSHIRE'S ELECTORAL
VOTES MADE A DIFFERENCE.

More than 250 people attended the hourlong event, which was held as a new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows a tight presidential race.

"This race is on," the Indiana governor said. "We are within the margin of error in New Hampshire and ABC just said we are one point away from a dead heat."

The poll shows Trump at 45 percent and Hillary Clinton with 46 percent of the vote.

"We are just so encouraged by the momentum in the campaign and across New Hampshire, and really, across the country, as people are really beginning to come to the conclusion that this isn’t a choice between two candidates, it’s a choice between two futures," Pence said.

During his speech, Pence spoke about the FBI’s decision to continue to investigate Clinton’s private email server from her time as secretary of state.

"When she and her family were operating a private foundation that accepted contributions from foreign governments and foreign donors, and then had a private server between those two things to apparently keep out of public disclosure, which has come to light to be pay-to-play politics, I think it’s deeply troubling to millions of Americans," he said.

"In Donald Trump we will have a president who will rebuild our military, revive our economy through tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, (negotiate) smarter and tougher trade deals and have a Supreme Court that will strictly uphold the constitution of the United States of America," Pence argued.

In Florida on Sunday, Clinton focused on the election outcome in the wake of the renewed FBI investigation into her emails.

“There’s a lot of noise and distraction, but it really comes down to what kind of future we want, and who is our president can help us get there,” she said.

Political analyst Chris Galdieri said the email issue could play a role on Election Day.

“Republicans who had been planning to sit out the election might see it as worth turning out to vote and voting for Trump anyway,” Galdieri said.

With several recent visits by Trump, Clinton and their surrogates, New Hampshire’s four electoral votes could be crucial.

“If the Clinton campaign can hold New Hampshire, they make Donald Trump’s path to 270 electoral votes a lot harder,” Galdieri said. “The flip side of that is, Donald Trump can’t become president unless he carries New Hampshire.”

Galdieri now wonders if any more political bombshells are coming before voting day.

“One of the things that’s been really strange about this election is that the candidate who’s in the news more tends to be doing worse,” he said. “When all the focus is on Donald Trump, Clinton’s rising. When the focus is on Clinton, Trump starts to do better.”

Galdieri also pointed out that, in a close race in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore, New Hampshire’s electoral votes made the difference: If Gore had won the Granite State, the election controversy in Florida would’ve been irrelevant.
